Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Social dominance orientation involves a belief in hierarchy and a desire for one's own group to be dominant over others. People high in this trait may believe that the world would be better off if everyone accepted their place in the social order, which would likely involve acceptance of a hierarchy. Conventionalism and need for structure may also be related to beliefs about social order, but do not necessarily involve a desire for hierarchy. Self-objectification is unrelated to social hierarchy beliefs.
